Racing the dream

4 April 20155 April 20152 Comments

There are moments in your life when dreams do come true. That moment when it suddenly hits you, that split second you realise a dream will come true. That feeling is priceless! I highly recommend it.

So I've been getting more serious about my training for my 70.3 Ironman in Barcelona next May And I learn a lot not about my physics But mostly about my mental game It's been off for years & years Insecurity Self doubt False beliefs Finally I get new insights because I learn through reading and talking about it Experiencing first hand what happens when I get brainfreeze Slowly bit by bit I've been noticing progress Physically, mentally & spiritually I'm allowed to rewrite my story And make anything happen Let's keep learning & growing It's actually fun #createyourlife #triathlontraining #triathlon #triathlete #tritraining #fitdutchies #fitgirls #fitfam #fit #cycling #cyclist #asthmaathlete #running #instarunner #progress #strongwomen #fitat40 #outsideisfree #humansoftriathlon #runninggirls #runchat #hwpo #crossfitgirls #crossfit #IRONMAN703 #magicmaker #beyou #play #joy #goodlife
Today is a shitty day I spent way too much money Took a nap Did a short run out in the woods Ordered lunch And ordered dinner And it's all fine Can't seem to shake that dark blanket off of me And that's also fine My mother died two years ago Since her birthday I've been feeling off And it's OK Grief has no rules Be kind & love one another Find your spark Fuel your fire OK?! #createyourlife #triathlontraining #triathlon #triathlete #tritraining #fitdutchies #fitgirls #fitfam #fit #cycling #cyclist #asthmaathlete #running #instarunner #progress #strongwomen #fitat40 #outsideisfree #humansoftriathlon #runninggirls #runchat #hwpo #crossfitgirls #crossfit #IRONMAN703 #magicmaker #beyou #play #joy #grief
When your balance is out of whack Balance it out again And again And again 70.3 Ironman training is also a mental game And my mental game ain't that game on lately So I need to adjust my habits & routine to make right & balanced again Reset Adjust Keep breathing And keep breathing Let's write, read and learn a thing or two ❤️💪 #createyourlife #triathlontraining #triathlon #triathlete #tritraining #fitdutchies #fitgirls #fitfam #fit #cycling #cyclist #asthmaathlete #running #instarunner #progress #strongwomen #fitat40 #outsideisfree #humansoftriathlon #runninggirls #runchat #hwpo #crossfitgirls #crossfit #IRONMAN703 #magicmaker #beyou #nerdalert #books #bookstagram
Holy shit Time for Future Friday What is what you want for the future? Think about it Visualize it Make it happen I want so many things It sometimes is difficult to focus on what and when So I start with tiny goals for the very near future: Swim 250 metres freestyle in a row without dying Gotta start somewhere baby Let's do this! So next time I swim here I'm nailing that open water swim ❤️💪 #createyourlife #triathlontraining #triathlon #triathlete #tritraining #fitdutchies #fitgirls #fitfam #fit #cycling #cyclist #asthmaathlete #running #instarunner #progress #strongwomen #fitat40 #outsideisfree #humansoftriathlon #runninggirls #runchat #hwpo #crossfitgirls #crossfit #IRONMAN703 #swim #openwaterswim #swimmer #freestyle #futurefriday
October 2013 I did my first half marathon Half marathon of Amsterdam I had the most ugly finish photo Because I cried my eyes out crossing that finish line Couldn't believe I achieved this big goal And also finishing at the Olympic stadium ain't that bad In 2020 I will do this half marathon again! Registered today! 2020 will be an amazing year filled with awesome achievements and foremost A lot of joy! ❤️💪 #createyourlife #triathlontraining #triathlon #triathlete #tritraining #fitdutchies #fitgirls #fitfam #fit #cycling #cyclist #asthmaathlete #running #instarunner #progress #strongwomen #fitat40 #outsideisfree #humansoftriathlon #runninggirls #runchat #hwpo #crossfitgirls #crossfit #IRONMAN703 #gozwift #strava #tscmarathonamsterdam #halfmarathontraining
